IM BACK "ytm200boy"
Hi fellow trikers!
Im back this time with a step down from my old ytm200ek that i had to get rid of. I bought a project trike yestruday its a yellow yamaha 125 or 175 im not sure yet. No engine. everything else is complete even has the carb and cords attached! minus engine and chain. I would like to know how exactly would i identify the make and year? i found the stamping on the neck of the frame yesturday night at like 11 pm but i didnt record it down. The frame is in amazing shape! Bike has the stock brand new front forks "no shocks". would do i identify the make and year from the vin code? thanks -Joe "its good to be back"

yeah i just figured that out doing a yamaha ytm125 search its definately what i have and no shocks so it must be a 125 correct?
-
Well it looks like your typing has improved slightly, lets hope thats not the only thing 
-
Solid front forks and a hardtail means it is a 125. Unless some one cobbled something together.

very funny Billy, look i even capitalized Billy haha. Im going to turn this pile into a runner in less then 2 months is my goal "before i start college". Im going to put a 4 or 5 HP engine is it hopefully im still thinking about what to do with it. Thanks Billy for the compliment.

Do you have a picture? If the roller is all original, if it just has a headlight, then it is an 80 or 81. If it has a yellow plastic cover over the headlight, then it is 82 or later. Hope that helps.
-
nope its not the plastic shield covered headlight its the stock metal light. Sadly i figured out i need a new rear tire "1 is in good shape" front tire is shot. so i need 2 tires so far and the engine "hopefully getting tomarrow." Today i went threw the entire bike no rust at all other then like the grab bar and the handle bars but its just surface rust. Most of the frame is original black paint not a scratch!!
-
what your back??????? 4-5hp motor....
well I guess welcome back...
-
are you saying to throw a 4-5 hp motor in as a joke or being serious?? i was thinking about a 6.5 maybe? i dont know if itll fit though?
-
125 engines are not that exspinsive, why not just get one of those?

ok true it would be easy to just bolt it on. I have all the other stuff the gas tank the side oil tank im guessing? the carb, choke cable and everything just no motor. "carb looks very dirty" maybe salvagable? how much would a 125 engine run for? im looking on some sites and on ebay and i have not found an engine yet!
-
I know I cannot tell you what to do with your project. But if the trike is that complete, it seems like a damn shame to ruin it the way you have planned. A good biuld takes time. If you have to actually put some effort into it then it becoems worth it in the end.
